Chapter 297 Burmese Jade City
Driving home, the sky had completely darkened, the street lights came on, and the nightlife had just begun.
San'er has been recuperating at home recently. His body has just recovered, and Hu Zi has been making porridge, side dishes, and various nourishing soups for San'er for several days in a row.
He ate so much that there was no oil or water in his stomach, and he felt weak all over.
Hu Zi parked the car in front of the hot pot restaurant, smelled the aroma coming from inside, and swallowed his saliva: "Boss, you just attended the dinner, are you hungry? Do you want to eat hot pot? This looks delicious."
Chen Yimin looked up, glanced at the bustling hot pot restaurant, and couldn't help but smile. Although he didn't eat much at the banquet just now, he didn't feel very hungry.
But thinking about the soup I have been eating for the past few days, I suddenly felt like eating hotpot.
"Then let's eat this." Chen Yimin nodded and sent a message to Lei Hong and the others.
The two of them entered the hot pot restaurant first. Hu Zi didn't even take the menu. He directly ordered a series of meat dishes, and then ordered a super spicy hot pot base. He sat there and waited for the food with great interest.
Not long after, Lei Hong arrived. Originally, people thought that only Lei Hong and Fang Hua were there, but unexpectedly, San'er also came.
San'er was wearing a pink hat and a white sweater. He no longer looked sickly like before and looked much more energetic.
He sat down and looked at the bright red pot bottom with a worried look on his face: "Why did you suddenly want to eat hot pot?"
My body is not well yet, I need to take good care of myself recently, and don't even think about hot pot. San'er could only watch, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Hu Zi.
Hu Zi laughed and put the blame on Chen Yimin: "The master said he was hungry. It was getting late and he didn't have time for dinner, so he might as well eat outside."
Chen Yimin didn't say anything, just looked at them with a smile.
Lei Hong and Fang Hua were so sweet together that they had no intention of getting involved in their argument and just picked up food for each other.
Fanghua's body had been almost restored to normal, but the soup base was still a little spicy for her. It was so spicy that her forehead was sweating and she couldn't stop wanting to drink water.
The spicier the food, the more delicious it tastes. Fanghua put a few more pieces of meat into the bowl and picked up the drink next to it and started drinking.
Lei Hong looked at her lovingly. Such a lively look was what he had always dreamed of. He took a tissue and carefully wiped the sweat from Fanghua's forehead.
Hu Zi felt as if he had eaten a pound of lemons, and his whole body was so sour. "Can you please pay attention? There are still single people here! I am so miserable. I have to watch couples show their affection when I have a meal."
He regretted that when Chen Yimin suggested calling him Lei Hong, he should have refused!
San'er sneered. He was obviously the one who suffered the most, okay?
He can neither eat hotpot nor has a partner.
The group finished their meal with laughter and chat, and went home with the aroma of hot pot. At this time, there were fewer vehicles on the road, and it was three hours later.
San'er looked at the scenery passing by outside the car, propped up his chin and said, "When I feel better in a few days, I will go to Myanmar Jade City and look at the jadeite again."
He loves gambling on stones. He likes picking out raw stones with emerald green from a pile of stones. The excitement of opening the stone is thrilling.
I also like touching jade, feeling its temperature and texture.
If he hadn't been nearly dying of illness before, he would not have given up gambling on stones. Later, he came back here and opened a shop selling raw stones, didn't he?
San'er's previous abilities were not fake. Apart from the Jade Gu, his own abilities were not exaggerated.
Hu Zi was obviously very interested in the Burmese Jade City. San'er had always gone there alone before and never brought him along.
This time, Hu Zi decided to go with him no matter what: "I've never been to Myanmar Jade City. Will you take me with you?"
Chen Yimin had heard of Myanmar Jade City, which is known as the hometown of jade. Most of China's jade comes from there.
I heard that there's a mix of good and bad people there, and if you accidentally offend someone you shouldn't offend, you might end up dead on the street.
Chen Yimin originally thought that the raw stone in San'er's hand was purchased from someone else, but he didn't expect that it was actually selected directly from the Myanmar Jade City. It seems that San'er is a very capable person.
I can actually choose first-hand raw stones from there.
Lei Hong and San'er are old acquaintances, so he naturally knows some of his deeds: "I heard that Myanmar Jade City has been a bit restless recently, and a lot of things have happened. Several original stone mountains have been replaced. We have been away from there for so long, I don't know if there will still be a place for us."
Back then, they were all influential figures in Myanmar Jade City. San'er was the most famous jade master in Myanmar Jade City. As long as the raw stone went through his hands, the price could increase several times.
Lei Hong was a famous sculptor. San'er once helped him with some small tasks, and later the two became acquainted.
When San'er met Lei Hong, Lei Hong had already been famous in Myanmar Jade City for a long time, and many jade jewelry were made by him.
"I don't know when I will go back. Don't worry, I've been hanging out there since I was in my teens. Nothing can defeat me." San'er took out his cell phone and checked the messages on it.
These were all things he had inquired about recently, regarding Myanmar Jade City. They were not very detailed, he just gave a rough account of most things.
After reading it, San'er had an idea in his mind, "I will go to Myanmar Jade City in a week and bring some jade back from there. Then, you can use it to supply your jewelry store, and you can also sell the excess jade."
Chen Yimin thought this was a good idea. The jade shop's business was very good recently, so they decided to open a branch. With such jade and carvers, they would definitely open more and more stores.
However, Chen Yimin was also thinking about letting Lei Hong bring in some new people. Obviously, as more and more stores are opened in the future, he will definitely not be able to handle it alone.
"I'll go with you."
Chen Yimin has nothing to do recently, so it would be a good idea for him to go to Myanmar Jade City with San'er. It would be best to negotiate a contract to buy the raw stones with some raw stone producing areas, and then have San'er stay there to guard the place.
After all, San'er is a good talent. It's a pity to keep him around like this all the time.
After deciding on a date, Lei Hong also said, "Mr. Chen, we have considered this for a long time. Fanghua is now in much better shape now. We plan to move out."
It is not a solution for them to live in someone else's house for a long time.
Chen Yimin understood their thoughts and agreed immediately.
Lei Hong added, "Mr. Chen, I'm planning to contact a few friends I knew before to come over and do some work. Is that okay?"
Chen Yimin was hesitating about how to let Lei Hong take him as an apprentice, but seeing that he was so proactive, he agreed immediately.
